<h1>Set Commit Properties</h1>
<p>
    This option is launched from the <span class="name">History
    View</span> via the <span class="menu">Set Commit Properties</span> option
    in the revision table context menu.
</p>
<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>
    Commit messages are stored in the SVN repository as properties attached to
    each revision. By default, the message property (<em>svn:log</em>) cannot
    be edited once it is committed. The <span class="name">Set Commit Properties</span> function
    is enabled through the <span class="name">pre-revprop-change</span> hook,
    which has access to the old log message before it is changed. If this hook
    is not enabled for your repository, this function will not work.
</p>
<h2>Process</h2>

    The revision number for the commit properties being edited is displayed in
        the the dialog title. Simply re-type or ammend the comment associated
        with the revision. The author of the revision can also be changed. Click <span class="control">OK</span> to
        complete the change.
